My solution is to uninstall everything you can with O-installer, then delete oracle home and the oracle subdirectory under HKEY_LOCK_MACHINE/SOFTWARE in the registry. Perhaps there are some other things you should do but this has always worked for me in the past. Make sure you get rid of all databases and services first also.

Hi,

Is there any white papers for removing one version of Oracle from an NT machine? I have 8.0 and 8i and would like to fully remove all of 8.0 including registry entries etc.

I attempted to use Universal Installer, but it won't let me select any of the 8.0 components to remove them. I'm gonna keep working it and see where I get.
